A security services building and the headquarters of Libya’s anti-corruption agency were on fire in the capital Tripoli early on Tuesday after apparently being hit by NATO air strikes.

Government spokesman Mussa Ibrahim later said that the rebel National Transitional Council (NTC) had directed NATO to attack the agency in a bid to destroy files related to former regime officials who have joined the rebellion.

“We believe that NATO has been misled to destroy files on their corruption cases,” he told journalists.

Parts of Tripoli have been targeted almost daily by NATO-led strikes launched on March 19 after a UN resolution called for the protection of civilians from Gaddafi’s regime.
